We describe a new topographic method of detecting microdefects in nearly perfect crystals. By this method, faint kinematical images of microdefects are observed with minimized dynamical background intensity using the interference effects of X-rays in a sample crystal. We demonstrate the capability of the method by observing “A-swirl” defects in floating-zone (FZ) silicon. The dynamical background intensity is markedly reduced, and weak kinematical images could be observed.
